Day 99 - Connecting Throat and Heart

I posted an energy question to Soul TV today.

Hi Michelle, I've been working on loosening my chest and throat area, is there anything else I could be doing? Thank you.

The reply came:

I pulled the Throat Charka and Wholeness card for you from the Everyday Lightworker Oracle Cards and the affirmation states "My Higher Self holds sacred space when my shadow speaks its truth". I feel that the work that you are doing is bridging the connection between heart and throat, this is very positive. Concentrating on both lighter and darker aspects of the psyche is important for full integration.

Confirmation to keep breathing deep.

Tonight is also introduction night to Womanhood. While I will not be doing the course, I am excited to be in that environment and give my testimonial on how wonderful my experience was a few years ago.

Day 97 - Breathing. Really Breathing.

I had a sample session with a Voice Coach today. After the digging of blockages and filters, we settled on doing 4 breathing exercises. This is to relax and stretch the very tight muscles around throat and chest area. I noticed for the first time that it hurts to breathe in deep (even though I can breathe out long and strong easily).

1) Chest/Sternum
2) Pit of stomach
3) Lower abdomen
4) Top of thigh at hip socket

First time around I am challenged by just doing normal breathing.

I'm also taking notes on anything that arises. There are a lot of layers in this.

And the volcano image from Amy's reading, how emotions bubble away until they erupt and I destroy things.

Day 84 - Yellow Glow

As it is unpredictable when I have 2 hands available to hold the energy space of my neck and forehead, I settled on imagining a glow of yellow in that area when I remember to do so. When I do have both hands, I modified yesterday's advice to this routine:

Forehead and neck holding, 3 breaths
Base of throat holding, 3 breaths
Collar bone, 3 breaths
Base of spine, 3 breaths

Reclaiming Mariko - Day 1

Health challenges, relationship communications, distance between friends and family, financial crisis, spiritual bankruptcy, loud voices inside the head. "New" baby that isn't so new anymore. It's all happening and nothing at all, at the same time.

Taking a deep breath and out, one moment at a time.

This space is to document my journeying through mental challenges, emotional accountability, past blockages and uplifting myself into love, joy, peace, excitement, creativity, wholeness and wellness.

Each day I will be posting 1 technique I did in order to center myself.

To get started, here is a quote from Kareena Granville's Sparkle Challenge:

I wonder how I will find my sparkle...
I wonder how my life will be better when I reclaim my sparkle...
I wonder what opportunities will be attracted into my life as I reclaim my sparkle...
I wonder how my sparkle will be of service to others...

"Wondering" is an open invitation to whimsy, magical even.

So I do wonder, where will this blog lead me to?
